Hi all
I am new here as you see (my first post, yeeeeee!)
I am building my new house and here is the material i choosed and bought so far:
-ELK M1 Gold Kit with 2 keypads
-Channel vison speakers in every room (6 zones)
-ELK 28 inch Structured wirin panel
-Exp serial card for ELK M1
- PCS UPB switches
-PCS UPB PIM-R (for interfacing ELK to UPB)
-PCS UPB PIM-U (for my PC,tonse UPstart)
- Mov detectors, glass break detectors ad all doors and windows contacts
- Aube thermostat (240Vac) with remote setback contact (connected on outputs of ELK for night setback)
I also run myself all the Phone(cat5e), network(cat5e) and cable\satellite(RG6) cables to my main panel in the basement.
I will also run a cat5e and 2 wire speakers to each zone even if i didnt decided yet what mulyi-room audio system i am going to go with...
I am looking to get the most of my automation system, so i am wandering if there is anything that i am missing that would worth doing? Any suggestions or ideas are more than welcome.
Also, as for the audio system, i love the nuvo essentia keypads and the nuvo ports but geeeeeee they are annoyingly expensive!!! i wish i could find an affordable, good quality multi audio system that has LCD keypad that allows me to browse my playlist and tunes from itune or mediaplayer!!!! i
thanks in advance for your suggestions
